[QUOTE="Werewolf, post: 1562228, member: 239"] Well... Not since 1939 anyway. The intent of the authors of the 2nd is clear from reading the history of how the constitution was put together and the wheeling and dealing that had to be done to get the BOR. The federalist papers is a very good source as a reference for what the authors intended. But the modern SCOTUS seems to mostly disregard original intent, especially those members who fall to the left. The 2nd as it stands today bears absolutely no resemblance to what the authors of the constitution intended. Some believe that we as gun owners/enthusiasts/self defense advocates etc are getting our rights back. What is happening is that SCOTUS is further restricting them with decisions like Heller and MacDonald which essentially reinforced Heller. 1st step towards making it so we eventually won't be able to even take a gun out of our home. Rights are rights. You don't restrict them. If one exercises a right irresponsibly and causes harm to another you punish the irresponsible act, you do not restrict/punish all those who exercise a right responsibly. It really isn't that hard to understand. Unfortunately the restriction of rights means power and control and that is what all, all governments are about with or without good intentions; it is what they do; it is who they are. [/QUOTE]
